Diagram construction and performance in advanced mathematics
conference contribution
posted on 2015-05-12, 10:55 authored by Lara AlcockLara Alcock, Alun Owen, R. AllinsonWe report a study in which 100 students at the beginning of an undergraduate real
analysis course were asked to construct diagrams to represent four general
mathematical statements about functions. We present four theoretical criteria for
analysing such diagrams and illustrate the range of student-produced diagrams; we
then present an analysis showing that performance in the diagram-construction task
was significantly related to subsequent performance in the course.
